Default About solar brilliance and master enslave

Ok on other thread there was mention that no penetration items affect bf enc. is that true?

Meaning I don't get pen bonuses to master enslave or solar brilliance from extra paths nor penetration items?

This applies to all bf wide mr resistable spells?

No, like Sombre said in the other thread:

BF: (eg Master Ensalve) MR roll is affected by pen items & caster level

BE: (eg Solar Brilliance) MR roll is not affected by pen items or caster level

To define further.

A Battlefield Enchantment is a spell that has a lingering effect. Fire storm, mists of deception, storm, solar brilliance... these are spells that are cast once and has an effect each round, or is a persistent effect on the battlefield. Does not get boosted.

A BF is a spell where one casting affects the entire battlefield, but does so only once having an instantaneous effect. Does get boosted.

Since master enslave is a BF it can be boosted by levels and penetration bonuses. Solar brilliance is a BE and cannot.

For what it's worth, items (eg Eye Shield) also don't get boosted by pen items on the wielder.

What about MR-negates attacks? Like, EA R'lyeh's mind lords and their enslave weapon?

No, pen items do not help weapons (innate or wielded), including Enslave Mind.
